Teething biscuit recipes

Many parents swear by teething biscuits. I’ve found that the slight mess they create is a small price to pay for the few minutes of distraction and relief that teething biscuits offer a baby.

There are several brands of commercial biscuits, including Earth’s Best, which offers barley and wheat versions, and Healthy Times, which makes biscuits in vanilla and maple flavors. Whichever you choose, be careful not to leave Baby chewing on a biscuit unsupervised. Pieces can break off, causing a choking hazard.

Many recipes are available for baking your own homemade biscuits. Some contain sugar, some do not, and a few are even wheat-free. Here are a couple of my favorites. Please send in your favorites to [email protected]

Directions:
Blend wet ingredients, add dry ingredients. Dough will be stiff. Roll dough thin
and cut into strips or desired shapes.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 15 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet.
They can be made without the last 3 ingredients, but they add to the
nutritional value.

Can be made with either white or brown sugar; white or whole-wheat flour. Stir eggs with fork until creamy; mix in sugar. Gradually add flour until stiff. Roll between floured wax paper sheets or with floured rolling pin until about 3/4 inches thick. Cut into rounds, shapes or sticks. Grease cookie sheet. Let cookies stand on cookie sheet overnight. Then bake at 325 degrees until hard.
